We need added numbers to the squad. We dont have the quality, and we won't be bringing any quality in this January so get Sanchez back just to add numbers. It's a sensible thing to do.

Maybe Ole can revitalise him. Best we can hope for I suppose. In light of our injuries, we could have done with him this season, and Ole has turned Fred around while giving Martial and Rashford their best seasons. Maybe he can get a tune out of Sanchez too. Really, you never know.

He’s only played, what, 5 games for Inter this season? And spent the rest of the time
out injured. I can’t see what he’s done for us to want him back. In reality he’s coming back because nobody else is willing to meet his salary and this is a bit of PR to smooth over his reintegration back in to the team. We’re not going to say we don’t want him because it dissuades prospective buyers, and it makes it far more difficult to bring him back in to the fold.

I know we all hate the club right now, but 100% we would ditch this guy immediately if we had a chance to get him off our books. We’re still paying the price (literally) for this mistake, that’s just reality. Rather than being angry about this story, we need to make sure we don’t make this mistake again.

Let's face it, with the current dross we have, and as limited as he has been (he is better than that, we know) he would walk into this team. In fact Rooney would walk into this team in a heart-beat..... we are that bad. Feck me, I'd have a wet dream at the thought of seeing Rooney walk back out for us at OT due to the current state of affairs at this club.
Rooney? No he wouldn't.
He's not exactly bossing it in the championship!

I think the point was that he is shit, he's not the future of Utd at all and the hope was he would make the move to Italy permanent. The fact that he's likely coming back to a club and a team that didn't really want him on vasts sums of cash is pretty appalling!
So it’s appalling that united have to honour contracts they agreed with their players and players have to honour contracts they signed. How dare they, that’s appalling :lol:

If this is true, I predict he will play a total of 174 mins. Then another 2-month injury.
I dislike him so much and would rather play Chong there. They both make wrong calls for the majority of the time they spend on the pitch, suffocate the game with their horrible ball transition.

No, Sanchez is under contract until 2022 and United have to expect him to come back until they receive an offer for him. This is a fact not a guess. The article was empty enough that a third of it doesn't even concern Sanchez, it's just a clickbait article from ESPN.
At this point I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with. My original post said that he was always coming back. I just don't think we'll get an offer for him and consequently he'll play. I just find that disappointing. That's my opinion.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say, but obviously you think you're being quite clever about it, maybe I'm being a bit thick.

The original post that you jumped on, asking what was so appalling, implied that the situation that the club had got itself into was appalling, and it is an appalling situation. A knackered player, no one wants, on huge wages that you're stuck with for another couple of years, when there was a chance you might be able to offload him. Everyone accepts that the club has to honour the contract, but it doesn't mean people can't comment on that and offer their feelings and opinions. Obviously you think it's fine for the club, that's fine but many disagree.

EDIT sorry forgot to add the obligatory green smiley ..... :lol:

Hardly. They did well to find some mugs to take on a big chunk of his mad wages.
We went into the season with Rashford, Greenwood, Martial & James to cover 3 positions and they're the mugs? It was a dumb decision with nobody inline to replace him. Look at us now.

To be honest I don't follow, at which point did we had a chance to offload him?

I guess the hope might have been that if he had revived his career during the loan in Italy banged in a few goals, you could have had the chance to bring back the Sanchez United fans never got to see or sell him on to recoup some of the cash spent, unluckily it turns out he's just as shit in Italy as he is in Manchester .

If he’s going to be so ‘useful’ after this loan spell then why loan him in the first place? Especially since the loan so far has been unsuccessful and a slow and aging player will simply be just another year older so there is no merit to think he will come back a better player.

We are obviously just preparing for the a low spend this summer.

Sanchez has played 6 games for Inter and spent most of his loan period injured. Where is Ole getting this idea from that he is going to prove everyone wrong? He surely cannot be basing this on his loan period and then you have to ask if he really belived in him why let him go in the first place?

Beyond pathetic.

I think we need to come to the realisation that Sanchez will be one of three options up top as a striker with Martial and Greenwood for next season but hopefully Sanchez will be third choice, I’m not happy at all about it but if nothing else I guess it means we’ll our transfer budget on a right sided attacker and a few midfielders.

This cannot possibly be true. I know that the club we all love is run by some absolute morons, but surely this is beyond the realms of even their incompetence.

Depends how much we get for Pogba on top of our usual 60-70m.

From " I will be succesful here and some players wont be here for that ..." to "Sanchez will prove you all wrong" after being sent on loan just to get him as far as possible :lol:

dunno that Ole has much option really, he clearly doesn’t want him at the club which is why it’s we’re prepared to cover a good chunk of his wages on loan. But if he’s coming back, and let’s face it who else is going to buy him, he can’t say in a presser “I’m gutted Alexi is coming back cos he’s a crock of utter shite”

Im going to check how Alexis has performed in Seria A. He must have been ripping it up for Ole to confirm that comment.


Dont know how to do white text but he has 1 goal and only 7 appearances so far since Sept.

Yeah cant be true, cause United is a well run club with a top manager, and all the journos and papers hate us and all that.

We hate ourselves and are run by incompetent idiots. We arent able to bring in anyone and cant offload Alexis, so there is our new signing. Ole has to go with it obviously

Sure Ole can, he managed to do so with all our players so far. Oh wait....

Those are proper mid table signings, what makes you think wed go for rice and grealish
Last summer everyone on here was certain we were getting Sancho. We got Daniel James instead. Everyone thought we were getting De Ligt and Koulibaly. We got Maguire instead. Everyone thought we were getting Kai Havertz, we made an inquiry about Sean Longstaff instead.
Grealish and Rice would improve us and they're the kinds of signings we'll more than likely be looking to make. I doubt Leeds are gonna sell us Kalvin Philips. We're not paying 150 million for Ruben Neves.

I don't even think that 10% of the caf thought that we were getting Sancho, let alone everyone.

Yeah you’re being a tad dumb. People are appalled by a player returning from a loan. Like the club and the player aren’t contractually obligated to do so.
No one raised the issue of he club signing him, just him returning from a loan. You’re looking for stuff that isn’t there...

We are a fecking disgrace at this point. We are the laughing stock of Europe. It seems there is a weekly article in Dutch and Belgian press about how badly we are run, how we are turning into a mediocre club... Why would exciting players come to us? Fecking heartbreaking.

Ahh just feck off with this shit. If the plan was to prove he is a great player he should have been used this season. Ole is starting to look more like the Glazers puppet each minute.
